South by Southwest to go ahead despite coronavirus concerns
- Organizers say no plans to postpone March event
- Facebook, Intel and Twitter say they will not attend
South by Southwest in Austin will not be cancelled this year, organizers say, despite mounting concern that the tech and culture festival will expose the Texas city to the coronavirus.
Facebook, Intel and Twitter have all pulled out of the event. A petition on change.org with over 32,000 signatures is also demanding that the event be scrapped.
